The sub-Php30k Laptop Round-Up

This is a little overdue, especially for those who emailed and left comments asking for recommendations with purchasing a new laptop. But to those who are still in the look out, check out the sub-Php30k laptop round-up after the jump.

We have here 14 laptops under Php30,000. I’ve already trimmed them down from over 2 dozens in the initial list and most of the laptop manufacturers are represented — Acer/eMachines, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, HP/Compaq, MSI, Neo.

We even have a surprise entry from Across with its own Core i3 laptop.

Note that there are 4 laptops in the list that sports a Core i3 330M CPU coming from eMachines, MSI, Across and Neo. Those 4 units should be on top of your list if you’re getting a new one with a tight budget. Also note the ones that have Windows pre-installed in the units as these will give you a better bargain.

I’ll update the list whenever I bump into new ones but for the meantime, I think the chart above should do. Besides, from all the emails I regularly get, Php30k seems to be the sweet spot on laptop prices.

    Recently helped a friend of mine get an Acer Aspire 4741 (29.9k). Pretty sweet machine, another sub-30k i3 worth looking at.

    Have a feeling it’s the same exact chassis as the eMachines d730, in a nicer package.

    Hey DK,

    I guess asusph answered your question na. As for me, It’s very useful for multitasking. I’ve got Chrome, WMP, Granado Espada, Adobe Reader and MS Word running – and I’ve never experienced major slowness. Except nalang when I was running Sims 3 :))

    Hope that helps. It’s really a great buy. Plus it doesn’t break my shoulder when I bring it to school!

    Yes the 1201N is used by many here in the office who actually have like 10 spreadsheets of excel files open at the same time. :) (sales related work kasi sila) and it handles them pretty well. :)

    hi krysia

    ask ko lang if kaya ng asus 1201n ang multi-taksing
    at madaming open na excel files

    my work kasi is heavy sa paggamit ng excel at powerpoint

    and i find netbooks very slow

    pero mukhang promising yung asus 1201n
